Is the 2018 Nissan Rogue reliable?
The 2018 Nissan Rogue has 668 owner complaints on file with NHTSA, 2.0 times the median of 331 for 2018 SUVs on this site. Of the 13 Rogue model years since 2014, it has the 2nd most complaints. Complaint counts rise with sales as well as faults, so read what owners report below before deciding.
At a glance
- Next to the 2017 and 2019
- At 74 complaints for each year on the road, the 2018 runs above both the 2017 (60) and the 2019 (42).
- Top problem
- One problem takes up much of the file: brake wear, named in 264 of the 668 complaints (40%). Brake wear tends to show up early. Of the 196 owners who gave a mileage for it, half were under about 14,000 miles and a quarter under about 5,000.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 54 of the 668 complaints (8%) report a crash, a fire or an injury, a little above the 6% typical of vehicles on this site. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 35 reports mention a crash, 2 mention a fire and 48 people were hurt. The most crash reports, 13 of 35, fall under airbag.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- Infotainment has a recall on the same system (23V-093). Brake wear and phantom braking have none. A recall on the same system doesn't always cover the failure owners describe, so compare its summary with the complaints.
- When owners filed
- Filings jumped in 2019, with 222 complaints, 2.9 times the next busiest year. So far in 2026, 38 more have come in.

How this compares
668 complaints is 2.4 times the median 2018 model on this site and 2.0 times the median 2018 SUV. Among the 13 Rogue model years here it ranks 2nd for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
